So, this is a pretty good establishment in iamen Park. If you go inside, the establishment itself is nice. There is a heck of a lot of space.
So starting off it's basically street parking there or there's a parking structure or two nearby as well. Everything is in walking distance though so that makes it better.
You can park someplace and go bar hopping and go try some food from a number of different restaurants. And it's right down the street from the beltline. So if you wanted to hook a left, you can go walk along the beltline and work up an appetite!
So the painted Park has a lot of space. Like I said. It is vast to where you have a initial area that you will come into that has seating. You will have a back area which has seating. And even behind that there is like a little lounge looking area that also has seating and a whole different bar. There's multiple bars there all in a row so if you can't find a place to get a drink, that's your fault LOL. They also have a downstairs where a couple of games on the tables. They also have some card games as well so you can bring a group with you. There is outside seating as well. So you really can't run out of space. It's really nice and it's super chill. They have plenty of TVs on the wall so if you want to watch the game, this would also be a place.
Everything that I had that was good. The food was really good, drinks were good as well. The only thing is some of the service took a while. The service wasn't bad by any means, but when I was ready to go after a couple of hours, it felt like it was 15 or 20 minutes just to get the bill. I'm trying to pay you, why am I waiting to give you money lol!? I actually have to go and tap the waitress to for my her to bring me the check. But in lieu of that, she was really nice and friendly while we did interact aside from that, so I can't take that away! I just want to know that that was the only downside that I saw, the delay. Everything else, was really good. Also, to be fair, the next time I went, it was a good experience. I sat at the bar though so that probably helped. But it could have been a one-off.
Caiperina - so, this was a decent drink. I part-time at a Brazilian restaurant so I know what it's supposed to taste like and this wasn't too bad. It's not overly powered with the rum and you still have a balance with the citrus. I wish that they had muddled it, but I understand. It was still pretty good.
Calamari - when I was walking in I saw the calamari being served and I thought it looked really good. The calamari is cutting the strips, nice size strips, and has two sauces with it. One sauce is kind of like a maybe a Thai chili. Kind of sauce. Little sweet heat. The other sauce is maybe some type of aioli or something, I'm not sure. All I know is it was spot on. You get a decent sized serving. It's a small plate, but I suppose it's enough for two people to pick at.
BBQ shrimp - Now the barbecue shrimp, these were a 12 out of 10. These were amazing! I don't know what that sauce was but that sauce must have been made with unicorn tears! My only drawback is that it only came with maybe about five or so shrimp. For the price, five shrimp doesn't seem like enough, but The taste and the flavor of the sauce was immaculate to me. It had a nice hefty kick, a lot of Tang to the the sauce. And the shrimp were drenched in it. They brought bread so you can actually dip the bread in a sauce too. Honestly I dipped the mushrooms in the sauce as well, the sauce goes with absolutely everything LOL! The waitress was nice enough to bring more bread to the table when the two pieces were eaten.
Fried mushrooms - The mushrooms are really good. They had a lot of mushrooms there, they were fried, but fried to a crisp tempura perfection. They had ranch with them and the ranch went very well. Thing with him was that they actually needed the ranch. You needed something because by themselves, they weren't seasoned as much as I thought they would or should have been. But they were still good. I will not take that away from them. This was something I would probably get again.
Nachos - the nachos were pretty decent. They were full of toppings but not loaded over the top. Which I mean if you're having nachos, you kind of want over the top but it was still a nice amount of toppings.
Triple decker club - The cup sandwich was really good. It wasn't like you get one slice of meat per layer of Sandwich by any means. It was pretty thick so it was actually pretty filling for a sandwich like this.
Aside from what I mentioned about the slight service interruption, this is definitely a spot that I would consider going to again. They had a bunch of stuff that I wanted to try but you can't try everything at one time lol but I would definitely go ahead and spin the block on it a few times! read more
